Brimstone (Fae & Alchemy, #2)

by Callie Hart

“Don’t you know? There isn’t much I wouldn’t sacrifice to make you happy, Osha.

I’m here because my mate is here. Where she goes, I go.

“She isn’t my girlfriend. She’s my mate,” Fisher said quite amicably. “And if any part of your body, literally any part of it, comes into contact with hers, then I will remove it.”

“Come now, Osha. Where else would an acolyte kneel to worship but at the altar of his god?”

I didn’t know your name. I didn’t see your face. But I knew, Osha. My soul recognized a flicker of itself burning inside someone else and it knew.

the fact that she wasn’t in my arms right now felt like the greatest injustice that had ever been inflicted upon me.

I never felt more seen than when he looked at me.

“I’d spend the fortunes of the universe to protect you. I’d drain the seas dry. Fell every tree. I would sacrifice the sun from the fucking sky and surrender the stars, too, if I could. But those things aren’t mine to give. All I have is my life. It isn’t much, but I’d spend it and consider the price small if it meant keeping you safe.”

But sometimes, if you wanted to… you’re allowed to soften, Saeris. You’re allowed to stop baring your teeth at the world and take a breath. Because I’ve got you.”
